Answer:

SO the required are

x = 29.7°

m∠RSV = 94 .85°

Explanation:

Given:

m∠ RST = 2 x - 10

m∠TSV = x + 6

m∠RSV = 4(x-6)

To Find:

x = ? and m∠RSV = ?

Solution:

we are given a triangle TSR

And by basic geometry we know that

Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°

In this question we are given three angles so

m∠RST + m∠TSV + m∠RSV =180°

Putting in the values

(2x - 10)+(x+6)+(4(x-6)) = 180°

it becomes

2x - 10 + x+6 + 4x -24 = 180°

2x+x+4x - 10 + 6 - 24 = 180°

7x -28 = 180°

adding 28 on both sides

7x - 28 + 28 = 180°+28

7x = 208°

divding both sides by 7

it becomes

x = 29.7°

Now

m∠RSV = 4(x-6)

m∠RSV = 4x - 24

Putting value of x

m∠RSV = 4 ( 29.7) -24

m∠RSV =118.85 - 24

m∠RSV = 94 .85°
